Not sure I get the shade. You're saying they're hypocritical because they have money and leisure so tax bills shouldn't matter to them? Maybe so, but that's the human condition, not a Brooklyn condition. Are "private school moms" as a class supposed to be immune? Or are they just easy targets?

Can you say more about why it's perhaps unwitting?

Agreed the current climate is toxic . . . hopefully we'll all continue to strive for open-ended exchanges on issues where there are good faith reasons for diverse points of view.

Does 230 not now have an exemption for federal criminal prosecution? As I understand, the Fosta-Sesta exemption allowed civil suits against Backpage by trafficked individuals. If the concern about unraveling 230 is criminal prosecution by Bondi, does the statute not already allow that?

Are you saying they would pursue criminal prosecutions against the sites?

Curious why a Section 230 critique troubles you?

Thanks for this informative thread!

Must report he's an Iowa native and double-alum of the University of Iowa

I think this ethos predates Trump. And I see the party's claims of identity empathy to gain votes and then capitulate to economic behemoths as the breeding ground for Trump. Sure, short term, win, dethrone, save democracy. But many of us think that's long-term recipe for more unbridled capitalism.
